Note

For best results, use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming too mushy.

You can substitute the pecans with walnuts, almonds, or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator covered tightly for up to 3 days. The pie is best served cold.

If you prefer a deeper color, feel free to add the red food coloring, but it is optional and does not affect the flavor.

Ensure the fruit mixture is completely cool before adding the bananas to help maintain their shape.
